DISPLAY DEVICE FOR SCREENS:

Application filed July 19, 1927. Serial No. 206,977.

This invention relates to display devices for screens, the primaryobject being to sup-' display device, and I have desired to cover thedisplay device broadly for any use to which it can be put.

lVith this and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts, which will. be more fully hereinafter described and pointed outin the claim. I

In the accompanying drawingsa Figure 1 is a view in front elevationshowing my improved device in operative position; i

Figure 2 is a sectional plan view of Figure 1;

Figure 8 is a view in vertical transverse section.

1 represents a base bar andQ are cylindrical posts fixed to the basebar1 and secured at their upper ends to a. top bar 3. These bars 1 and 3and theposts 2 constitute a siueportingframe, and the base bar 1 may besecured to the floor and the frame supported in any way desired.

Arms l have openings 5 therein receiving the posts 2, said arms restingon'the base bars 1, but permitted to swing freely on the posts andpreferably supported at their outer ends by casters 6 or other analogousdevices which will ride easilyover the floor.

On the supporting armsa, spring clamps 7 a are secured and projectedupwardly therefrom and are adapted to receive a screen door or otherdevice 8 therebetween. Clamps 9 are pivotally mounted on the posts 2 andthese clamps are adapted to engage the screen or other device 8 ispositioned on the arm 4 wlththe lower end of the screen in clamp 7,

and the rear edge or bar of the screen positioned in the clamp 9.

. This clamp 9 is capable of vertical adjustment on the post 2 butfreely swings or pivots so that in conjunction with the supporting arm ia hinged and swinging mounting is provided for a screen or other articlemounted thereon,

It will thusbe noted that a relatively large number of screen doors orother articles can be supported in close relationship, and each 7 screencan be swung or moved very much in the action of a hinged door, so thatdifferent types and. sizes of screens can be conveniently displayed. andoffered for sale.

By reason of construction of this kind I am not only enabled to carry asizable stock of screens in a. relatively small space but I canconveniently manipulate these screens so that by the use oi the device aconvenience in selling as well as attractiveness in the display is theresult.

Various changes and alterations might be made in the general form of theparts described without departing from my invention and hence I do notlimit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself atliberty to make such changes and alterations fairly fall within thespirit and scope of the up pended claim.

I claim:

A. device of the character described, in-

cluding a base bar, a plurality of vertical cylindrical posts on thebase bar, a top bar secured by the posts, arms having openings thereinreceivi the posts and swinging free ly therefrom, supporting devicesunder the free ends of thearms, means on the arms to receive the lowerend of the screen or other device, and a clamp on each post adjustablevertically on the post-and adapted to clamp an article supported by thearm.

Signed at Mahanoy City, in the county oi Schuylkill and State ofPennsylvania this 16th day of July, A. D. 1927.
